Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I've chosen this article as I am a conosseur of music and will enjoy being educated on it's digital and electronic history. This article is important in the world as it details how we have reached the state of music that we currently indulge in. This article is meant to inform on historical facts. My first impression of this article was that it is a good topic, however it can be more informative to readers on the page.

Evaluate the article
The article, Music technology (Digital & Electronic) describes the elements and gives a clear review of music technology in it's opening statement. However, it does not clearly list the major actions in which we are preparing to read.The lead section does not include much information in the text. The lead is rather concise, it could use more information.

The content of the article is beneficial to the topic, however it could use more factual evidence throughout. The content presented is up to date. Throughout the text, some content is promotional and could be replaced with more factual evidence through history. This article does not touch on subjects such as underrepresented populations & equity gaps.

The article is rather neutral, however it promotes certain musical technology brands over others which should be changed. The article advertises Japanese synthesizers repeatedly in text. The Japanese synthesizer viewpoint is overrepresented. There are little to no minority/fringe viewpoints. The article attempts to persuade readers in the direction of certain technology to use or purchase in music.

After reviewing, not all sources are backed by reliable sources. This article needs more sources to reflect the literature of this topic. Sources need to be updated. The sources presented are not diverse. There are definitely better sources available which I will provide. The links provided do work.

This article could be structured and worded better throughout. The separated paragraphs, broken down sections, coordinate well and provide an easy reading flow for viewers, however there are elements which can be addressed such as the "promotional" usage.

There are a few images shown in the article, however the ones displayed give a detailed look on synthesizers, drum machines and Midi. They are all visually appealing, captioned well, and follow the wikipedia guidelines.

The talk page features input on different points of the article. The talk page describes some topics that could be added to this article and are beneficial. There are also people who critique this article in what should be changed for this topic.The article is C-class rated of mid importance.

The article's overall status is of good standing. It's strengths are the information it provides from technology over time. The article can be improved by including more factual evidence rather than opinionated topics. The article is 3/4 complete, it is just missing a few elements, some which were discussed in the talk page. It is well developed, but still needs more work to be finalized.
